Is online coaching dead in 2026? Not even close. Here's the truth about AI and how to actually build a profitable coaching business this year.

I'm Ollie Carson. I've built and scaled three successful online coaching businesses across different niches, and in 2025 I grew RemotePro to $90,000 in a single month with just a VA and a video editor. In this video, I'm cutting through the noise on AI, showing you exactly where it adds real value in a coaching business, and walking you through my step-by-step plan for getting clients consistently in 2026.

In this video I cover:
